"Service providers are being pushed to accelerate the delivery of Ethernet services to meet rising customer expectations. To turn services up faster and manage them efficiently through their lifecycle, service providers need a coherent, end-to-end view of network topology, the ability to programmatically configure the network and high levels of automation," commented Caroline Chappell, Senior Analyst, Heavy Reading. "New service orchestration software solutions like CENX provide the critical layer of network abstraction and automation that address these requirements, leveraging existing network data sources in a non-disruptive way and making the network more 'software-defined' and agile."
